Certain Pre-Stretched Synthetic Braiding Hair and Packaging Therefor; Notice of Commission Determination Not To Review an Initial Determination Granting Unopposed Motion To Amend the Complaint and Notice of Investigation

Brief takeaway: The ITC left in place a procedural change that corrects a respondent's name in an ongoing Section 337 investigation involving pre-stretched synthetic braiding hair.

What changed: According to the notice, the Commission determined not to review an initial determination (Order No. 51) by the administrative law judge that granted an unopposed motion to amend the complaint and notice of investigation. The notice states the amendment corrects a respondent's name from "Vivace, Inc. d/b/a Dae Do Inc." to "Dae Do Inc. d/b/a Vivace."

Who's affected: The notice names an investigation into certain pre-stretched synthetic braiding hair and packaging therefor. It does not specify HTS codes or countries of origin, and it names one respondent (now "Dae Do Inc. d/b/a Vivace"); other parties are not identified in this notice.

What to review:
- Review whether your imported products fall within the category of pre-stretched synthetic braiding hair and its packaging described in this investigation.
- Confirm with your customs broker or trade counsel the status and scope of the underlying Section 337 investigation, which this notice does not fully detail.
- Check whether any suppliers or trade partners are connected to the named respondent.
- Review whether any exclusion or cease-and-desist orders may later result from this investigation and could be relevant to your shipments.
